For the first time EVER, I OVER PACKED! That’s right, you read right…I over packed! I bought all these cutesy Hawaii type outfits to end up wearing nothing, but my Reebox Fit Sneakers (which I love and adore), tank tops, and shorts.  With the exception of the luau, I lived in tank tops, shorts, and [...]

Maui Ocean Center:  Yes it’s a little kitschy, but I have to say if you are not a boat person, this is a great way to see the Maui aquatic life and there are some interesting restaurants in the area such as Buzz’s Wharf Restaurant.  I purchased a book from Amazon called Maui’s Top 100 [...]

Does anyone else recall a time where you didn’t have to pay to check your luggage? It was all part of the flying – I fly, I have luggage, I can check my luggage (and pray that it doesn’t get lost).  Now, we are in a time where carry-ons are limited in size and number, [...]

For years I have wanted to rent a jet ski, but to be honest, I was just to cheap to spend my money.  I mean really, $60 for a 1/2 hour hardly seemed worth it.  However, this summer, I found a jet ski rental for $65 for an 1.5 hours, complete with a dolphin and [...]
